I am clearly not a strong enough player to make any contribution towards playing ability selection. However, as the Olympiad can involve long hours of travelling, preparation, playing and analysis then perhaps we need give part of our focus to the physical fitness and diet of our selected squad. I understand food poisoning reared it's usual ugly head again this year and also at the Euroyouth.
I am reminded of football players like Ray Wilkins and Graeme Souness who went to play in Italy. The first thing they did when they came back was employ dieticians to look after their teams well-being as they had discovered on their football travels that the correct diet and fitness programme kept them running about till the end of the game.
